Picture Your Rescue Giveaway Recipient Named

BOULDER, Colo. - Jan. 4, 2016 - PRLog -- Hope for Horses equine rescue was randomly selected by A Home for Every Horse to receive a $1,000 donation for horse health and veterinary expenses from Zoetis as the winner of the Picture Your Rescue giveaway.  The Galt, California, based rescue plans to use the donation towards veterinary care, vaccinations and diagnostics for the more than 10 horses it helps to rehome each year.

Zoetis sponsored the Picture Your Horse giveaway to promote meeting the health needs of all horses as a part of the launch of the first and only equine leptospirosis vaccine, LEPTO EQ INNOVATOR^®. A Home for Every Horse and Zoetis continue to encourage horse owners and enthusiasts to complete the online Leptospirosis Risk Assessment (http://bit.ly/EvaluateYourRisk) (http://bit.ly/EvaluateYourRisk) and evaluate their horse’s risk for equine leptospirosis.

Equine leptospirosis is a costly and underdiagnosed disease that can affect the entire equine industry. Horse owners can now answer a few simple questions to help determine if their horse is at risk for leptospirosis and are able to print the results to initiate a conversation on prevention with their veterinarian.

Zoetis continues to partner with A Home for Every Horse by providing rescues with assistance through the donation of  health care products including STRONGID^® Paste and WEST NILE-INNOVATOR^®. Rescue horses have many needs when they first arrive at rescues, and Zoetis actively supports A Home for Every Horse and shelters around the country helping provide rescues the ability to foster each in-coming horse.
